1960 Map of Bens Run

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Ohio River industrial sites and rural West Virginia ridge settlements define this 1960s landscape. Along the riverbank, the Baltimore and Ohio railroad serves the community of Bens Run, where a Salt Evaporator and Salt Wells indicate the area's chemical and mineral processing history. Upriver, Lock and Dam No 16 manages the waterway near Beavertown and the Long Reach substation. Away from the water, the terrain shifts to the winding curves of Middle Island Creek and high ground like Federal Ridge. Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds, including the Oak Grove Cem, Mt Pleasant Cem, and Point Lookout Ch Cem. Small communities like Arvilla, Wasp, and Twiggs are linked by timbered ridges and narrow creek bottoms, while the eastern edge is marked by the remote Falls Mills and Meadville settlements.
